**Dear Web3 Developers,**

We have now supported Astar zkEVM, a Layer 2 blockchain that is fast and affordable in processing!

**What is Astar zkEVM?**
========================

zkEVM is a Layer 2 technology that allows for the use of Ethereum, the world's most utilized blockchain, at a lower cost and higher speed while maintaining its security. It is developed using the Polygon CDK (Chain Development Kit), and plans for compatibility with the Polygon economy have also been announced, making it a network that is attracting attention for its interoperability among fragmented blockchains.
